Pros & Cons
Pros
Made a 3/4 x 1' (deep) cut in red cedar boards. Record everything for quick setup the next time.
The name freud inspires confidence. It does the job. As advertised.
This is my first dado stack and i love it. It works fantastic and the carrier is great for storage. My only real concern about the set is that the instructions are printed on the back of the cardboard insert.
The 6 blades are more than adequate. Most dado blades are 8 for some reason. My tablesaw is an old rockwell delta and somewhat underpowered.
Well machined, reasonable instructions. Easy to use and has a handy guide explaining exactly how to set it up for each particular size dado. First class product.
Highlights
Quality
Works well on my mikita 2704 quality of cut is excellent
The blade are quality and they are sharp no doubt about it
It does not show you how to stack each blade with the spacers provided please do some research before hand
I also suggest the freud set due to its quality
Competitiveness
The cuts overall are unequivocally cleaner and more accurate than the cheaper chinese made competitors i previously bought from amazon also
Works great for my ridgid table saw

Be sure to check the distance between your arbor and the surface of your table before you buy this product as this will affect the usefulness of the dado
